getting sidetracked

I'm having trouble staying focused lately. Maybe it is because I don't have a plan to my day. And my lists are so long I just seem to hop from one thing to another. Like yesterday, for instance. I had a huge list. With a lot of things that needed to be done. So, there I was moving right along. I had a package I needed to mail, but needed the address. So I hopped onto the computer to get it. Next thing I knew, I was reading blogs. Hopped onto Parikha's blog. To wish her a Happy Birthday. (It was Theresa's Birthday, too!) Saw the peanut butter cups she made.Next thing I knew I was in the kitchen. Measuring the ingredients. You know. Because, making cookies for cookie of the week was on the list, too. This could be considered a cookie, right?Then I was getting the twine. To wrap Libby's for school. I knew she would like this. The boys, not so much. Put theirs in a plastic bag. Darn recipe only makes twelve. Two for each of the children for after school. One for each of the children to pack in the lunch boxes. That leaves three. Um, yeah. They are delicious. Note to self......double recipe next time.Also on the list. Knit another pair of these gloves. Writing down exactly what I do as I go along. And on the list for Monday......post the pattern.

it's the change of seasons in the air-time for distractions-but you seem to be headed in the right direction-I will make these this weekend(I love your wrapping!!!) And I like the yarn you've chosen this time VERY much...

I am a Master of getting Sidetracked! I do fairly well Monday thru Friday, but come Saturday....that is a whole different story! I must say tho, I think those peanut butter cups looked like they were worth a little sidetracking!

Oh, no. I'm not much of a sweet or dessert person, but I love peanut butter cups. Imagine homemade?! I can't think about having those things in the house, not with the chocaholic (sp?) I live with and for the "muffin top" hips that would become more out of control!

I'm looking forward to your pattern! I want to make a pair of fingerless mitts. I'm halfway through a pair of orange mittens right now. Do you have any suggestions for the crotch of the thumb? Heh, that sounds dirty. But anyway, on my test mitten, I ended up with a decent sized hole in the V where the thumb connects to the hand. Does that happen to you?

Oh, it just sounds just like my days lately - no plans, long lists, unfocussed,hopping around etc! I wish I ate cookies like these to sum it up but didn't. However, they are delicious and I will try baking them too!

As usual, you sucked me right in, too... there I was, with just two minutes free to see if you've posted, then next thing I know, I'm off looking at Demi, writing down a recipe, clicking away at a glove...

i am the same way! i have so much to do and get sidetracked so easily! and then a whole day is gone and the list is still untouched! my goal for fall and onward to is be more organized and get more done...thanks for sharing the recipe! i will definitely have to try these!!!
